Indication

Boostrix is a vaccine indicated for active booster immunization against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis.

Dosage

Boostrix is administered as an intramuscular injection into the upper arm muscle.

Boostrix is approved for use as a single dose in individuals 10 years of age and older.

Boostrix is generally given whenever a booster dose of diphtheria and tetanus vaccine is required and where a booster for pertussis is desired.

It may also be given in the case of a tetanus-prone injury where a booster for diphtheria and pertussis is also required, provided no previous dose of tetanus vaccine was given within five years previously.
